We need a new political party.

Out with the old, in with the new.

We need a new political party. A properly liberal party, which practices as well as preaches the values that America needs. Tolerance, integrity, honesty, proportionality, justice, and reform. An agreement that taxes are the contribution of citizens to provide services that are better provided en masse than by a market; that our own dignity requires the redistribution of some wealth to support those who are temporarily and/or permanently economically disadvantaged; that even and especially in government and corporate endeavors, personal responsibility is attached to authority. That the purpose of our penal system should be primarily rehabilitation, and that is failing. That a law which everyone ignores is not a good law. That a law which no one knows about is no law at all.

That weapon ownership is a right, but not an absolute right. That the freedom of the press is everyone's right, as is the freedom to assemble, which implies the freedom to travel both in and out of the country without identification. That abuse of monopoly powers is a criminal matter. That tax codes which are overly complex benefit no one save politicians and accountants.

More as things gel.
